The latest count of Long Beach's homeless population was higher than the same period in 2024 despite the city's investment of over $130 million in recent years, data showed Monday. The coastal city's homelessness went up at 6.5%, which indicates that Long Beach now has 219 more unhoused people than last year with city officials blaming the January wildfires for the uptick. As over 3,000 people found permanent housing, there were 3,595 unhoused people on the streets of Long Beach as of Jan. 23.
